All RISE Editor compliant code generator accepts command line input. This is useful when the generated code is part of a larger software project or if you, otherwise, need to assure that generated code is consistent with your RISE model.

Pass the command line arguments according to:

This can be used directly from any command line prompt, e.g. like

or embedded in Visual Studio as part of a build process

or in any other environment to achieve "generate on demand" functionality.

If input arguments aren't provided, the code generator will display its GUI to allow the user to enter the missing parameters and manually generate the code, see standalone usage.

The RISE code generators communicate the result of the operation by placing a result file codegenerator.result in the output folder. This XML file contains information about the code generation process. It includes details about the source RISE model, the code generator used and resulting output files. It also includes any errors and warnings. This is the mechanism used by the RISE Editor during code generation and its purpose is to facilitate integration of code generators in other solutions.

All elements and attributes in the result file are part of the namespace risecode and are described in the table below. Note that the overall structure of the file is defined by the DTD embedded in each result file.
